The latest edition of Civil Rights Legislation includes the latest materials on the basic principles of section 1983 and the Bivens doctrine, issues related to pleading standards, treatment of qualified immunity, issues related to municipal liability, issues arising from federal habeas corpus, recent treatment of federal court, remedies for violations of constitutional rights, developments under section 1981, developments under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and recent treatment of the Americans with Disabilities Act in district and appellate courts.

Legislation and the Regulatory State is unique in several respects. It is perhaps the only "LegReg" offering explicitly designed to build fluency in the concepts and vocabulary of the federal regulatory state.

A companion book for Legislation and the Regulatory State, this Documentary Supplement contains the major sources of law affecting the creation and development of federal regulatory law, including the Administrative Procedure Act, Government in the Sunshine Act, Congressional Review Act, Federal Advisory Committee Act, and Paperwork Reduction Act.

Take advantage of the author's combined 75 years of experience drafting constitutional provisions, federal and state statutes, administrative and court rules, and local laws, as well as Professor Martineau's 30 years spent developing courses in legislative drafting and teaching Plain English drafting to law students and professional drafters.
